The Palomar Transient Factory Sky2Night programme
J. van Roestel, P. J. Groot, T. Kupfer +9
We present results of the Sky2Night project: a systematic, unbiased search for fast optical transients with the Palomar Transient Factory. We have observed 407 deg in -band…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Data Processing, Products, and Archive
Frank J. Masci, Russ R. Laher, Ben Rusholme +46
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new robotic time-domain survey currently in progress using the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt Telescope. ZTF uses a 47 square degree field with a…
Long-term Periodicities of Cataclysmic Variables with Synoptic Surveys
Michael Ting-Chang Yang, Yi Chou, Chow-Choong Ngeow +12
A systematic study on the long-term periodicities of known Galactic cataclysmic variables (CVs) was conducted. Among 1580 known CVs, 344 sources were matched and extracted from the…
PTF1 J085713+331843, a new post common-envelope binary in the orbital period gap of cataclysmic variables
J. van Roestel, P. J. Groot, D. Levitan +6
We report the discovery and analysis of PTF1 J085713+331843, a new eclipsing post common-envelope detached white-dwarf red-dwarf binary with a 2.5h orbital period discovered by the…
Large Super-Fast Rotator Hunting Using the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory
Chan-Kao Chang, Hsing-Wen Lin, Wing-Huen Ip +5
In order to look for large super-fast rotators, five dedicated surveys covering ~ 188 square degree in the ecliptic plane have been carried out in R-band with ~10 min cadence using…
Photometric variability of candidate white dwarf binary systems from Palomar Transient Factory archival data
Wil Kao, David L. Kaplan, Thomas A. Prince +6
We present a sample of 59 periodic variables from the Palomar Transient Factory, selected from published catalogues of white dwarf (WD) candidates. The variability can likely be at…
